Stock GTR has now been opened. I did a compression test this morning to find 85psi starboard side and 95 on the Port.
Pulled heads to have them Decked .045, ports cleaned up and slicked down,laped valves, gut stock muffler, K&N cone filter, and a little trailer work.

Did you do a cylinder leak down test to see where you were losing the compression?

Those compression numbers are really bad for a newer motor. Maybe your heads been the problem all along. One thing is for sure you going to see some good gains when you put it back together. What about a cam to go with those valves?

I would of thought better numbers. Are you sure your compression gauge is good.

Couldn't be happier after running today with new prop and mods. Jumped on plane no problem and ran a constant 22 mph at 2400 rpms deep water. Top speed about 28 in shallow 3950rpms.
